Donald Trump's bid for the White House and ascendancy in the polls has surprised many - but The Simpsons called it 15 years ago.

The cartoon
foretold a Trump presidency in a surreal episode where Bart is given a
window into the future - and found a country brought to its knees by
financial mismanagement and a crime wave ushered in by The Donald.

In
Bart to the Future, first aired in March 2000, a fortune teller gave
Bart a glimpse of 2030 - just weeks after Trump vacated the White House.

Recipe for disaster? An episode dating back to 2000 predicted a future
Trump presidency. The Donald is pictured above in a clip made after his
campaign launch this year

Last, best hope: In the old Simpsons episode, Lisa Simpson is elected to
succeed Trump in the White House - and inherits an unmanageable level
of national debt

The
episode's alternate universe reveals that Trump, who will be 84 in 2030,
left the country in an impossible amount of debt, and reliant on
foreign aid from Europe and China.

This
sorry state of affairs is the exact opposite of Trump's current
campaign promise to 'Make America Great Again', and stop 'losing' to
other nations.

The
recently-unearthed episode is the latest in a series of eerie Simpsons
predictions, in which the show has foreseen the Arab Spring, the Ebola
crisis and the discovery of the Higgs-Boson particle.

In
the episode's vision of the future, America is also at the mercy of an
army of genetically-enhanced thugs, brought about by Trump programs
designed to help the nation's youth which dramatically backfired.

Great Again? According to a graph by finance whizz Millhouse Van Houten,
Trump's administration brought the nation to financial ruin, and the
ignominious position of accepting handouts from China

The only person who can save the shattered United States is none other than the newly-elected President Lisa Simpson.

Despite
her lofty ambitions to 'refill the oceans' and build the world's
biggest book-mobile, her biggest task becomes rescuing the nation from
its crippling debt.

An
exchange from Lisa's first cabinet meeting, meeting a balding Millhouse
in charge of the nation's finances, starts with a sobering financial
summary.

However,
overexcited fans shunted him right behind Trump as he made his way down
an escalator - prompting Homer to get sucked inside his
much-commented-upon hairdo, where he found other lost souls including
Amelia Earhart.

As soon as he was expelled from Trump's hair-vortex, Homer was collared by security guards and dumped back in Springfield.

THROUGH THE YELLOW CRYSTAL BALL: OTHER WORLD EVENTS ASTONISHINGLY PREDICTED BY THE SIMPSONS

A Trump presidential campaign will hardly be the first event The Simpsons apparently predicted from afar.

The show has called world events correctly before, in fields as diverse as politics, medicine and theoretical physics.

Uncanny: In a 1997 episode of The Simpsons, the show's creators appear to hint at the recent African Ebola epidemic

In
the episode Lisa's Sax, a sick Bart is given a book to read to keep him
occupied at home. However, despite her intentions to soothe her son,
Marge hands over a volume entitled Curious George and the Ebola Virus.

The
cover features a sicken monkey - the animal which carries Ebola. Frames
of the cover are followed moments later by Bart gesturing to a drawing
of piled-up bodies.

A 1998 episode - The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace - got science buffs talking years later, when it emerged Homer Simpson had produced a decent approximation of a theory related to the Higgs-Boson 'God particle'.

Genius?
An episode from 1998 shows Homer Simpson producing an apparently
functional approximation of a theory for the mass of a Higgs-Boson
particle

One
experienced particle physicist said that a complicated equation Homer
scribbled on a chalkboard seemed to pre-empt the discovery by experts at
CERN.

And Matt Groening's gang also apparently foresaw the political downfall of Syria, brought about by the Arab Spring.

A 2001 Simpsons episode - New Kids on the Blecch, shows clips of a war in an unspecified Middle Eastern country.

Some of the U.S. enemies depicted in the show were using a jeep branded with a flag used by nobody at the time it was aired - but which more than a decade came to be used by a rebel group in Syria.

Sheeple

The Black Sheep tries to warn its friends with the truth it has seen, unfortunately herd mentality kicks in for the Sheeple, and they run in fear from the black sheep and keep to the safety of their flock.

Having tried to no avail to awaken his peers, the Black Sheep have no other choice but to unite with each other and escape the impending doom.

What color Sheep are you?

The Gulag Archipelago

In America, it's time to recall the words of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago:

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand. The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst; the cursed machine would have ground to a halt."

GEORGE ORWELL QUOTE FOR ALL TIMES

"At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas of which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question. It is not exactly forbidden to say this, that or the other, but it is not done to say it. Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing, either in the popular press or in the high-brow periodicals."
George Orwell, 1945

The Dilemna

This blog hopefully will describe my journey toward being a full-time trader of futures contracts, mainly of the E-Mini S&P 500 futures contract (ES), and since August 2008, mainly the Euro/USD Currency Futures.

I have also lately decided (in Nov. 2008) to start posting mainly videos and commentary regarding my faith and world view of the rapid changes we as a country, and the world as a whole, have started to experience since our latest Presidential Election in the U.S
